Unexpectedly, Miss Lin Shiqiu and Meng Peipei, as fans of "The Hobbit", neither of them snapped up a copy.

And when he heard what his father said on the phone with Uncle Qu that Dangshu.com sold out 18,000 copies of "The Hobbit" within 46 seconds, Qin Junhao was also a little surprised.

"How did it sell so fast?"

Qin Junhao sighed, and was worried that the physical publication of "The Hobbit" might not sell well enough.

Now it seems that Qin Junhao is completely overthinking this concern.

"Lao Qin, your little Junhao's book is a bit more popular than we imagined, and our publishing house will hold a meeting soon to study and decide on the next follow-up printing and publishing issues. ”

On the phone, Editor-in-Chief Qu Jiayang said excitedly.

"Okay, good old song, then you go get busy first. After Qin Dalei finished speaking, he hung up the phone with Qu Jiayang.

"Husband, sold out 18,000 copies in 46 seconds?"

Lin Yushuang looked at her husband Qin Dalei in surprise.

Qin Dalei nodded: "That's right, that's what Lao Qu said, my God, this is selling too fast!"

"yes!"

Lin Yushuang was surprised, but also extremely happy: "Husband, this shows that our cub's "The Hobbit" is very popular." ”

"Yes, yes, my son's book is about to become a bestseller. ”

Both parents were very happy.

Qin Junhao is actually quite happy, but he still looks calm on the surface.

Since "The Hobbit" is selling well.

Then I have to communicate with Miss Lin Shiqiu as soon as possible, and strive to draw the illustrations of "The Hobbit" as soon as possible, and then we can publish the hardcover illustrated version of the physical book.

Drip, drip!

On WeChat, Miss Lin Shiqiu sent another message.

Lin Shiqiu: Stinky brother, will your "The Hobbit" continue to sell in the future? I really want to buy a copy.

"I think there will be more printing, but I don't know when. ”

Qin Junhao replied.

Suddenly, Qin Junhao remembered, didn't Uncle Qu Jiayang say that he left 5 physical books of "The Hobbit" for himself this time?

In two days, Uncle Qu Jiayang and his family will come to Yancheng to watch their participation in the Xinghai Cup finals, and they will bring the 5 physical books of "The Hobbit" over at that time.

Qin Junhao doesn't need as many as 5 copies, it's good to keep three copies for himself, one for himself, one for his father, and one for his mother.

And then there are two words left.

Just right.

Miss Lin Shiqiu, Meng Peipei, give them one for free.

"Little sister, I'll give you a copy then, hehehehe. ”

Qin Junhao typed and said to Miss Lin Shiqiu.

Lin Shiqiu: (surprised) Give me a copy? Wow, stinky brother, is it true?

"Yes, didn't you say last night that you would give me that painting, then I'll give you a copy of The Hobbit, as the old saying goes, gifts are exchanged. ”

Qin Junhao replied.

Lin Shiqiu: Thank you, stinky brother, Bixin ♥

"No thanks. ”

After Qin Junhao replied to Miss Lin Shiqiu's WeChat message, he switched to Meng Peipei's chat box.

"Sister Pepe, The Hobbit is sold out and I can't buy it for the time being, but it's okay, I can give you a copy. ”

Meng Peipei: (puzzled expression) Ah, you gave me a copy? Didn't you buy it too?

Meng Peipei still doesn't know that the author of "The Hobbit", Mr. Jiuyi Qin, is actually Qin Junhao.

Last time, Qin Junhao wanted to talk to Meng Peipei, but he didn't have time.

"Don't hide it, do you know who Mr. Jiuyi Qin is?"

Qin Junhao typed and asked.

Meng Peipei: Isn't Mr. Jiuyi Qin the author of The Hobbit?

"Ahem. ”

A moment later.

Meng Peipei: (surprised expression) Brother Junhao, no?

"That's right, that's what you think. ”

Qin Junhao estimated that Meng Peipei should have guessed that Mr. Jiuyi Qin was himself.

Meng Peipei: (incredulous expression) Mr. Jiuyi Qin turned out to be your father?

Qin Junhao slowly typed a series of question marks: ?????

Meng Peipei: Ah, it's not your father......? Did you write it yourself, brother?

“bingo！”

It seems that Meng Peipei's reaction speed is not too slow.

Meng Peipei: Wow wow wow wow wow, brother Junhao, I didn't expect that eight-and-a-half-year-old genius prodigy author would be your !! ah!!

"Sister Pepe, don't be so excited, when the time comes, Uncle Qu, the chief editor of the publishing house, will leave me a few copies of "The Hobbit", which should be brought to Yancheng in two days, and I will give you a copy at that time. ”

Qin Junhao thinks that Meng Peipei, a 15-year-old young lady, is not bad, and she is friends with her, so it doesn't hurt to give her a copy of "The Hobbit".

Meng Peipei: Happy!!

Meng Peipei: Well, Brother Junhao, can you sign the book then?

"Absolutely. ”

Qin Junhao knew that Meng Peipei, like Miss Lin Shiqiu, wanted her own signed physical book.

Drip, drip!

Lin Shiqiu: Stinky brother, the competition has begun, when will you appear?

Lin Shiqiu sent a WeChat message and asked.

Qin Junhao glanced at his serial number plate, No. 012, and replied: "I should be the twelfth to appear." ”

Lin Shiqiu: Then I look forward to your appearance.

At this moment, Lin Shiqiu was already sitting in the audience of Yancheng Art Hall, and the first contestant in the preliminary round of the children's group had already appeared to play piano music.

After all, they are all piano children who have studied for several years, and they are naturally quite powerful to reach the national finals.

After the first piano boy played, there was a round of warm applause in the art hall.

The five judges of the Xinghai Cup began to score on the spot.

According to the rules of the national finals of the Xinghai Cup, those with a score of more than nine points can enter the finals, and those with a score of less than nine points and more than eight points still have a chance, that is, tomorrow's rematch.

Those below eight points will be eliminated directly.

The five judges of this year's Xinghai Cup National Youth and Children's Piano Competition, like last year, are all well-known pianists and professors in China.

Among them, the pianist Zhao Yixun is the top in China, and even in the world, it is a remarkable existence.

There are also judges and teachers such as Qian Yinyin, Sun Chongke, Li Jianhe, and Zhou Xingwei, who are also highly authoritative.

"9.1 points, congratulations on making it to the finals. ”

The first player in the children's group was lucky to score 9.1 points, which was a lottery.

Next up was the first contestant in the junior category.

Although the competition is called the "Xinghai Cup National Youth and Children's Piano Competition", the youth group and the children's group are separated due to the age gap.

Therefore, there will be two champions in each Xinghai Cup, one in the youth group and one in the children's group.

But often the champion of the children's category will be more popular, because the champion of the children's category will have more flexibility and development space in the future due to their young age.
